SSL Visibility
The majority of malware and data exfiltration hides within SSL/TLS encryption, blinding your security inspection tools. Decrypt and orchestrate to make your controls more effective.
OUTBOUND VISIBILITY TO PROTECT CLIENTS
INBOUND VISIBILITY TO PROTECT APPS
WHAT IS SSL VISIBILITY AND ORCHESTRATION?
Nearly 90% of all Internet traffic is encrypted. And F5 Labs threat research shows that 68% of malware uses encryption to hide when calling back to command and control.
Decrypting and re-encrypting traffic is computationally intensive, and many inspection tools—like next-generation firewalls and malware protection platforms—are simply unable to decrypt at scale. But visibility into encrypted traffic is not enough. The daisy chain of decryption and re-encryption through multiple security devices induces unnecessary latency and complexity. Policy-based orchestration breaks the daisy chain to most effectively stop malware and protect user privacy.
Challenges with SSL/TLS Encryption
Blinded Business Intelligence
The BI tools you rely on to provide user activity insights are blind.
Hidden Threats
Malware calls home and data is exfiltrated over encrypted channels.
Increased Security Cost
Decryption on daisy-chained security tools causes performance degradation and latency.
Operational Complexity
Disparate policies on multiple inspection tools and key management increase overhead.
Privacy Violations
Decrypting all traffic can violate privacy laws and regulations.

INBOUND VISIBILITY TO PROTECT APPS
Internet-facing applications typically require security tools like bot management, web application firewall, and intrusion protection systems, as well as data analytics tools that the business relies on to gain insight into customer activity. These tools need visibility to the layer 7 data to perform inspection.
